Cuban catcher Julio Rojo played for Negro League and winter league teams for 20+ years, often as teammate to black and Latin players since inducted by Cooperstown. He continued coaching into the 1950s, with his official work ending a few years before he passed in 1958. It's fair to say few players were as familiar to local fans as Julio.

This Aguilitas tobacco winter league set stands out for its player selection, with many Latin American and Negro League players, and photo-paper fronts that surpass newspaper quality of their day. Many players received their best portraits in this set, thanks to its high-contrast photography and light, clean borders.

This SGC EX 5 rating reflects its superior central image and clean surfaces, front and back. A small crosshatch at lower right on the front and bump along the left edge appear to hold it back from an even higher score. Its population report shows 13 total SGC/PSA graded, with none higher! Love of the Game is proud to offer several of this Cuban set's top cards.
